Liston vs Tyson

[CumulousClouds]

Who do you guys got, sonny or mike?

Who punched harder?

Liston might use his reach and power..

Mike his speed and movement..

But who wins?

[tyson]

Tyson, easy.

It would be murder. Liston too slow and too poor defensively.

in a stare down, liston flinches first, that is why he loses. liston couldn't handle ali's antics, he won't be able to handle tyson's.

mental edge goes to tyson.

I wonder why people with such a username think they can post on particular subjects and be taken seriously.





With that said, Liston was a great fighter, it would have been an interesting fight.

I think Liston stops Mike mid-late by TKO on cuts.
When a fighter had a good hard jab Tyson didn't do so well at jumping in and out of range with his monstrous combos. Listons jab is the best in Heavyweight history with an 84 inch reach.

I disagree with most here and feel that Liston will not be scared and will quite possibly intimidate Tyson. In the fight I see Liston staying on the outside and controlling Tyson with his long reach and powerful jab. In close I can see Liston pushing Tyson and punishing him after some combos by both. I think Liston stops him in the mid-late rounds.

Haha! Liston wasn't at his best when he fought Ali.

Haha! I agree it would have been interesting!

Liston had a jab, chin, reach..Tyson speed his movement and of course nasty power! His movement could give Liston trouble!

tyson. liston would have never faced anyone that fast strong pressure movement and would be blitzed in round 1. 2 if he lucky enough to rub some bleach in tyson eyes lmao

Poor match up for Tyson, Liston style eats alive come forward boxers and he already show that he could deal with the D'Amato bob and weave style in Floyd Patterson and didn't have much trouble at all with it.

This is the closest comparison we can make to Tyson vs Liston style wise but Tyson has a better chin, more power and better footwork then Patterson, still not enough for him to win against Liston imo anyway, also like noted before as well didn't do too well against boxers with a good jab and Liston had one of the if not the best heavyweight jab.

Tyson takes too many heavy punches and gets dropped for the count in mid - late rounds.
